Setting Web Library Permissions

Access the Permission Lists - Web Libraries page (select PeopleTools, and then Security, and then Permissions and Roles, and then Permission Lists and click the Web Libraries tab).

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Permission Lists - Web Libraries page.

A web library is a derived/work record whose name starts with WEBLIB_. All PeopleSoft iScripts are embedded in records of this type. An iScript is a specialized PeopleCode function that generates dynamic web content.

Administrators should make sure that users have the proper access to web libraries. For example, the default navigation system for application users is implemented using a web library. If users do not have the proper authorization to the web library and its associated scripts, then they will not have proper access to the system. If users are not authorized for a particular web library or script, then they cannot invoke it.

After you add a web library, you set the access for each script function individually. Invoking an iScript requires the assembly of a URL. Developers assemble the URL using PeopleCode.
